    brown straps and brass buckles

    Hi all,

    I have often told people that Highland Xpress is a great source for kilt buckles and straps. They now have brown straps and brass buckles!!! I ordered a bunch last week, and they arrived over the weekend. They are _beautiful_ and fill a need that many of us have felt for straps and buckles for kilts with brown tones. Here's the URL. Scroll down to the second item:

    http://www.highlandxpress.com/bucklestraps.html

    The color of the straps is a bit darker in real life than on their web site, and it is a beautiful rich color.

    Thanks Barb. I've been looking for brown straps for my "weathered" kilts.

    Good to know Barb. I will keep these in mind the next time I am doing a brown tone kilt.
    Thanks,
